Uptempo modern rock.

Dark, sleek, tension building.

A spiraling obsession. 

Lyrics

Can’t get you outta my head
Your white lies painted red
No, I try to lie still,
But your kiss is a pill
And I, oh I
Can’t get you outta my head
Can’t get you outta my head

I can’t understand
This was never what I planned
And I, oh I
Can’t get you outta my head

Won’t let you outta my sight
It’s not wrong, but It sure as hell ain’t right
If this is the finish line, I’m checkered
If you’re single I’m the record
And I, oh I
Won’t let you outta my sight
Won’t let you outta my sight

I can’t understand
This was never what I planned
My sight, and my soul
I can’t ever let you go
But I, oh I
Can’t get you outta my head
Can’t get you outta my head

You slip right under my skin
It’s over, it’s over
Before it begins
You’re perfection wearing thin,
You’re the tonic to my gin
And over and over again...

I can’t understand
This was never what I planned
My sight, and my soul
I can’t ever let you go
You're under my skin
There's no telling where you've been
But I, oh I
I can’t understand
This was never what I planned
My sight, and my soul
I can't ever let you go
You're under my skin
There's no telling where you've been
But I, oh I
Can’t get you outta my head
Can’t get you outta my head
Can’t get you outta my head
Can’t get you outta my head
High-energy rock.
Hard-edged, riff-driven.
A love letter to classic rock.

Lyrics

Went and got bit by the microphone
Now I got the lead in my blood and the heart in my tone
So give it to me slow like purple rain
Come and get a ticket to the crazy train

It’s the sound of my soul
Be my witness, be my witness
It’s the rock and the roll
Be my witness
It all comes back to...

With a line in the sand and my face in the dirt
I found a pocketful of power and a foreigner shirt
So take it to the limit, baby, turn it to ten
And I’ll trade you the world for a ballpoint pen

It’s the sound of my soul
Be my witness, be my witness
It’s the rock and the roll
Be my witness, be my witness
Watch me move, hear me roar
Buy my love at the record store
Take that feeling, make it something new
It all comes back to…

So baby open the doors, oh
And you’ll be feeling it soon, oh
And I’ll see you on, oh
The dark side of the moon…

It’s the sound of my soul
Be my witness, be my witness
It’s the rock and the roll
Be my witness…

It’s the sound of my soul
Be my witness, be my witness
It’s the rock and the roll
Be my witness, be my witness
Watch me move, hear me roar
Buy my love at the record store
Take that feeling, make it something new
It all comes back to…
Uptempo jammy pop-rock.
Energetic, clever, cheeky.
I don’t care what you say… I’m going to make it.

Lyrics

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
Sure-to fall,
A cannonball
But be that as it may…

It isn’t meant to be,
I just don’t fit the part,
There’s a laundry list of reasons I should give it up
Before I go and break my own part
Let’s call a spade a spade,
I’m not the hollywood sort,
I’m too young, I’m too old,
I’m too strange, I’m too bold,
I'm just a little too short

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may…

You know I won’t keep still
I don’t accept your truce
I’ve got a firecracker feeling
I’m about to hit the ceiling
And I’ll break right on through

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may…

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s just a sure-to-fall
A cannonball…

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may
Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may
Uptempo jam rock.
Intricate, energetic, instrument-focused.
A jam-pop diss track.

Lyrics

You're an actress, baby, but you know in your heart,
That you never played a role that didn't tear me apart
You got your fingers on the pulse of what you think is the truth,
But you come across rough
When you try to be smooth,
Your act is tired, go home,
And don't you lose any sleep,
('cause) you have promises to break,
(And and you've got) secrets not to keep
Your imitation is my frustration...

You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to erase
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original

I gotta hand it to you, honey,
But you're wasting your breath,
You take what's already working,
And you beat it to death,
You live for the hustle,
But you're running in place,
You were chasing a trend
And fell behind in the race,
You color inside the lines
Like you invented the shape,
(But) You can never be a hero
Wearing someone else's cape
Your imitation is my frustration...

You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to erase
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original

The real McCoy, original
It's in the execution
Accept no substitution
It's bona fide, no place to hide
I don't need retribution
I just want a resolution
The real McCoy, original
Don't ask for absolution
This is a revolution
(It's) all robbed, no attribution
(It's) all old, no evolution
(It's) all noise, no contribution
(It's) all problem, no solution

You say you're something new
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to replace
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original

Uptempo rock.
Underdog prevails.
Your hollow, flashy vibe doesn’t impress me.

Lyrics

You got high heels, but I’ve seen higher
You got my patience down to the wire
You got a lengthy pedigree
But that don’t mean too much to me

Bloodred nails, they tap the table
Sticky fingers peel the label
A toxic smile ear to ear
You got a lot to learn, my dear

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

Your elegance is truly glowing
But careful now, you’re label’s showing
You cast your lines, you reel ‘em in
There’s evil underneath that skin

It’s not who you are, it’s who you know
And oh, you put on quite the show
I know you think you play the game
But in the end you’re all the same

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

Now I understand, you’re set in your ways
You got a hand-me-down temper and you like it that way
Your money is dirty but your hands are clean
Must be good to be the queen
You got a brand-name wallet with dollar-store taste
All that blond, all gone to waste
Your money is dirty, your hands are clean,
Must be good to be the queen…

You got high heels, but I’ve seen higher
Got my patience down to the wire
You got a lengthy pedigree,
But that don’t mean too much to me

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

All the looks but none the charm
A dime a dozen, a false alarm,
You’ll never know, you’ll never see,
That don’t mean too much to me
You got all the looks but none the charm
A dime a dozen, false alarm,
Don’t ask for an apology,
That don’t mean too much to me
Too much to me
Too much to me
That don’t mean too much to me
Uptempo rock.
Punk, aggressive, energized.
You look nice, and I’m not shy… what do you say we go for it?
Aggressive stomp beat.
Edgy, unnerving, emotions boiling over.
Barely-restrained anger finally breaks free.

Lyrics

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Keep telling me I'm fine

I should talk to myself a little more,
At least I'll have a conversation
Talk to you a little less,
I think you drain my inspiration
I'm always the one who says I'm sorry
But sometimes it's not my fault
A million little paper cuts
And you just pour the salt

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Keep telling me I'm fine

I'm not the girl you think you see
I can't ever drop my guard
I try to keep a smile,
But Lord knows it's getting hard
I'm never alone, but oh I wish I was
Cuz I just need to breathe
But the air is just so heavy
And the shadows never leave

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Just keep telling me I'm fine
Fine, fine

Alcohol and acetone
I’m with you now, I feel alone
You can't give me what I need from you
Cuz you see, you see what you want to...
You keep telling me I’m fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask me what I’m feeling
And you give me a reason to lie...

Stop telling me I'm fine
Stop selling me your lines
You ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason,
You ask me what I’m feeling
And you give me a reason,

Don’t ask me what I’m feeling,
Don’t give me a reason to lie,
Just keep telling me I'm fine...
Just tell me I'm fine
Uptempo pop-rock.
Sassy, feminine, grooving.
Sometimes you have to write your own fairy tale.

Lyrics

We can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella
No, we can’t all be Cinderella

No, I never could contain my romanticized brain
Never knew what I should do to queue the love and lift the stain
The stain of my expectations, lies, foundations
I built to stay alive
But I got so, so so tired, my heart was in overdrive
I thought that if I lost a shoe,
Then fate would send me straight to you, but…

We can’t all be Snow White
And catch a prince by the end of the night
And live life with a copyright,
No, we can’t all be Snow White
No, we can’t all be Snow White…

So I’m checking myself out of fantasy
I’ve got to fight for what’s in front of me
This plot line’s headed sideways,
I’m as lost as I can be
No script, don’t care, no joke, no fanfare,
I’m giving up the crown
Take this fairy tale and turn it upside down,
Turn it upside down…
How did I get in this mess,
I’m a damsel in distress…

We can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella,
No we can’t all be Cinderella

Who do you possibly think you are?
‘Round here you won’t get far without a kingdom and a credit card
Who do you possibly think you are?
‘Round here you won’t get far without a kingdom and a credit card,
Without a kingdom and a credit card…

Can’t all be Snow White
And catch a prince by the end of the night
And live life with a copyright,
No, we can’t all be Snow White

And we can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella
No, we can’t all be Cinderella
Can’t all be Cinderella,
No we can’t all be Cinderella
Uptempo jam-rock.
Jammy, world-influenced, upbeat.
The happy conclusion to a long search for love.

Lyrics

Because of you, because of you
Because of you, because of you…

I’d heard that same old story
The boy-next-door song-and-dance
With all his wrecked-up glory
I knew they’d got it wrong,
That is, until you came along…

No more Friday nights alone
Goodbye, blood from a stone
So long, losing bets
No more haven’t-met-him-yets
Because of you, because of you

I don’t know what you see
Fact is, you chose little old me
Go on, break down the door
And show me what you came here for

No more half-closed, hopeless eyes
Goodbye, melancholy sighs
So long, losing bets
No more tangled safety nets
Because of you, because of you

Because of you, because of you,
Because of you
Uptempo rock.
Driving, venomous, out for revenge.
It’s about time you knew what I’m really made of.

Lyrics

Ready steady go
Steady go

I used to sleep a lot easier
You like your girls a lot sleazier
You said you quit it,
You overdid it babe,
I still get a hint of her

I hate to harm your spotless reputation,
I've gotta rectify the situation,
I got the power,
Your darkest hour,
Hope you understand my frustration

I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't
Hold my hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
Oh, but I'm ready
You say stick to what you know,
I'm ready...
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready steady go
Steady go

The road to hell is marked with lipstick stains
You always said I had a heart for brains,
Well I've been thinking babe,
Just let it sink in babe,
I've got a mind to make you feel my pain

I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't
Hold my hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
Oh, but I'm ready
You say stick to what you know,
I'm ready
Ready steady...

You say I've got a problem,
I'm just a little sick
Say you just want to help me,
Well this'll do the trick

You say I need to think this through
I've got a blind spot,
Can't live without you,
Well babe, I'll give it a shot...

Yeah I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't babe
My hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
But I'm ready
You say stick to what you know... yeah
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready for you to go
Go go go,
Ready steady go
Uptempo rock, stomp beat.
Unrelenting, all-out, uncompromising.
We work best when nothing’s working.

Lyrics

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff, baby
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home

No sleeping, scorekeeping,
What kind of girl do you take me for?
Pretending it's ending,
But oh, honey, we'll be back for more...

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home
You make me feel at home, yeah

You tell me you won't lie, why do I
Get the feeling it's a game of poker?
I scream that's final, but I'm vinyl
All you've gotta do is turn me over,
Then you play me again

You say, you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home

Make me feel at home
Make me feel, make me feel at home
You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
Okay, I'll see you tonight
You make me feel at home
You say you can’t get enough

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You don't wanna fight
Then just get out of my sight
You know I'll see you tonight
You make me feel at home

Uptempo pop-rock.
Empowered, hopeful, toe-tapping.
The first step is the hardest part… go for it!

Lyrics

You'll never write the story 'til you put the pen to paper
I don't know what you're waiting for, go do it now, not later
You shouldn't watch the movie until you've read the book
And you'll never see him smile until you look

I see into your soul and I can tell you're terrified
A little fear is fine, but don't you keep it locked inside
Sometimes it takes a swing or two to learn to hit the ball
And you'll never know the answer 'til you call

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

Listen to the record before you hate the song,
And tie your shoes, and sing the blues, and know your right from wrong
You shouldn't take the tag off until you tried it on,
And you might not know you love him 'til he's gone,
You might not know you love him 'til he's gone...

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

An apple a day,
Don't get carried away,
And try not to worry too much
It's always half-full,
You're halfway there,
Remember to hold in the clutch,
(And) set the alarm,
And turn on the charm,
And eat more leafy greens,
Just put down the mirror
And you'll see it clearer,
Stop trying to guess what it means
An apple a day,
Don't get carried away,
And try not to worry too much
It's always half full,
You're halfway there,
Remember to hold in the clutch,
And listen to rock,
And turn back the clock,
And put on that SPF,
And don't give up the chance for love
Because it scares you half to death!

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

You'll never write the story 'till you put the pen to paper
I don't know what you're waiting for, (girl) do it now, not later
You shouldn't watch the movie until you've read the book
And you'll never see him smile until you look...
Uptempo jam-rock.
Upbeat, dance-y, sassy.
I’m over you, and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Lyrics

This is a battleground
I'm not your personal lost and found
You threw it away,
Now you want it all back,
That's just not allowed
You've got a lot of nerve
But I've wizened up
Not your girl, not your honey,
Get outta my light,
Not your buttercup...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind

So don't waste my time
Telling me words that rhyme,
I've built an immunity
To your poetry
Now you should listen to mine...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind

I don't know what could've been
This is now,
Oh, and that was then
Your white flag
Is a blindfold I refuse,
So uncross your fingers baby
Don't look so confused...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're out of time
Uptempo stomp beat.
Sweet revenge.
Moving on from a bad relationship.

Lyrics

You used to know my passcode
I used to know your heart
I used to let you hold my hand, but now you stand here,
Tearing me apart

I’ve got my secrets
You used to have the key
You went from keeping something special sealed up tight
To giving it for free

But darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
It’s such a shame

I used to think you understood,
We used to think alike
But now you’ve traded sweet for bitter, guts for glitter,
Safe instead of right

And was she worth it?
How happy are you now?
Do you think about the night you lost me,
And do you wonder how?

‘Cause darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh you lost the game
It’s such a shame

(it’s such a shame, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ooh, I lost your number,
Ooh, you lost my trust,
I see the ashes in your eyes,
You turned our love to dust…

But now I’ve got a story,
Now I’ve got a song
And music makes you miss me more with every chord
You’ll know you’ve done me wrong

‘Cause darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh you lost the game

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
It’s such a shame
Uptempo rock, jammy bridge.
Hard-hitting, edgy.
A love story turned crime thriller.

Uptempo blues-rock.
Uplifting, motivating, confident.

Look out world, here I come.

Lyrics

I know what you're thinking,
You don't need to make a sound,
I'd be better off chasing my tail on the ground...
But boy, I've got news for you,
I've got a one-way-trip rocket ship,
Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Blast off, take off, three two one,
Mark my words, I'm gonna be someone
Ever since I learned to say my ABCs
I've had my mind dead-set on MSG

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Tour bus, no fuss
Because I'll do as I please
I'll share tequila on the rocks with the Kennedys
Yes, I'm ready for my name on a neon sign
And a cereal box, and a clothing line
I'll keep you guessing, reinvent myself
Wherever I go
The only label you can give me
Is a tag on my toe
My eye's on the prize,
My heart's in the fight,
(So) let's go, see you at the show tonight

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Tooth and nail
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon
Tooth and nail,
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon
Tooth and nail,
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

I just don’t fit the part,
There’s a laundry list of reasons I should give it up
Before I go and break my own part
Let’s call a spade a spade,
I’m not the hollywood sort,
I’m too young, I’m too old,
I’m too strange, I’m too bold,
I'm just a little too short

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may…

You know I won’t keep still
I don’t accept your truce
I’ve got a firecracker feeling
I’m about to hit the ceiling
And I’ll break right on through

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may…

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s just a sure-to-fall
A cannonball…

Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may
Slowing to a crawl
A million shades of grey
It’s sure-to-fall
A cannonball,
But be that as it may

Lyrics

You're an actress, baby, but you know in your heart,
That you never played a role that didn't tear me apart
You got your fingers on the pulse of what you think is the truth,
But you come across rough
When you try to be smooth,
Your act is tired, go home,
And don't you lose any sleep,
('cause) you have promises to break,
(And and you've got) secrets not to keep
Your imitation is my frustration...

You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to erase
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original

I gotta hand it to you, honey,
But you're wasting your breath,
You take what's already working,
And you beat it to death,
You live for the hustle,
But you're running in place,
You were chasing a trend
And fell behind in the race,
You color inside the lines
Like you invented the shape,
(But) You can never be a hero
Wearing someone else's cape
Your imitation is my frustration...

You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to erase
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original

The real McCoy, original
It's in the execution
Accept no substitution
It's bona fide, no place to hide
I don't need retribution
I just want a resolution
The real McCoy, original
Don't ask for absolution
This is a revolution
(It's) all robbed, no attribution
(It's) all old, no evolution
(It's) all noise, no contribution
(It's) all problem, no solution

You say you're something new
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
You say you're something new
But you should know I see right through...
You're quick to the punch,
You're fast to the chase
But the real thing's too hard to replace
And baby you should know
You can try but you're not the original
+ Too Much To Me

Uptempo rock.
Underdog prevails.
Your hollow, flashy vibe doesn’t impress me.

Lyrics

You got high heels, but I’ve seen higher
You got my patience down to the wire
You got a lengthy pedigree
But that don’t mean too much to me

Bloodred nails, they tap the table
Sticky fingers peel the label
A toxic smile ear to ear
You got a lot to learn, my dear

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

Your elegance is truly glowing
But careful now, you’re label’s showing
You cast your lines, you reel ‘em in
There’s evil underneath that skin

It’s not who you are, it’s who you know
And oh, you put on quite the show
I know you think you play the game
But in the end you’re all the same

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

Now I understand, you’re set in your ways
You got a hand-me-down temper and you like it that way
Your money is dirty but your hands are clean
Must be good to be the queen
You got a brand-name wallet with dollar-store taste
All that blond, all gone to waste
Your money is dirty, your hands are clean,
Must be good to be the queen…

You got high heels, but I’ve seen higher
Got my patience down to the wire
You got a lengthy pedigree,
But that don’t mean too much to me

You’re shallow in the worst degree
That don’t mean too much to me
Your majesty without a guarantee
That don’t mean too much to me

All the looks but none the charm
A dime a dozen, a false alarm,
You’ll never know, you’ll never see,
That don’t mean too much to me
You got all the looks but none the charm
A dime a dozen, false alarm,
Don’t ask for an apology,
That don’t mean too much to me
Too much to me
Too much to me
That don’t mean too much to me
+ Icebreaker
Uptempo rock.
Punk, aggressive, energized.
You look nice, and I’m not shy… what do you say we go for it?
+ I'm Fine
Aggressive stomp beat.
Edgy, unnerving, emotions boiling over.
Barely-restrained anger finally breaks free.

Lyrics

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Keep telling me I'm fine

I should talk to myself a little more,
At least I'll have a conversation
Talk to you a little less,
I think you drain my inspiration
I'm always the one who says I'm sorry
But sometimes it's not my fault
A million little paper cuts
And you just pour the salt

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Keep telling me I'm fine

I'm not the girl you think you see
I can't ever drop my guard
I try to keep a smile,
But Lord knows it's getting hard
I'm never alone, but oh I wish I was
Cuz I just need to breathe
But the air is just so heavy
And the shadows never leave

You keep telling me I'm fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason to lie,
Just keep telling me I'm fine
Fine, fine

Alcohol and acetone
I’m with you now, I feel alone
You can't give me what I need from you
Cuz you see, you see what you want to...
You keep telling me I’m fine
You keep selling me your lines
And you ask me what I’m feeling
And you give me a reason to lie...

Stop telling me I'm fine
Stop selling me your lines
You ask what I'm feeling
And you give me a reason,
You ask me what I’m feeling
And you give me a reason,

Don’t ask me what I’m feeling,
Don’t give me a reason to lie,
Just keep telling me I'm fine...
Just tell me I'm fine
+ Cinderella
Uptempo pop-rock.
Sassy, feminine, grooving.
Sometimes you have to write your own fairy tale.

Lyrics

We can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella
No, we can’t all be Cinderella

No, I never could contain my romanticized brain
Never knew what I should do to queue the love and lift the stain
The stain of my expectations, lies, foundations
I built to stay alive
But I got so, so so tired, my heart was in overdrive
I thought that if I lost a shoe,
Then fate would send me straight to you, but…

We can’t all be Snow White
And catch a prince by the end of the night
And live life with a copyright,
No, we can’t all be Snow White
No, we can’t all be Snow White…

So I’m checking myself out of fantasy
I’ve got to fight for what’s in front of me
This plot line’s headed sideways,
I’m as lost as I can be
No script, don’t care, no joke, no fanfare,
I’m giving up the crown
Take this fairy tale and turn it upside down,
Turn it upside down…
How did I get in this mess,
I’m a damsel in distress…

We can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella,
No we can’t all be Cinderella

Who do you possibly think you are?
‘Round here you won’t get far without a kingdom and a credit card
Who do you possibly think you are?
‘Round here you won’t get far without a kingdom and a credit card,
Without a kingdom and a credit card…

Can’t all be Snow White
And catch a prince by the end of the night
And live life with a copyright,
No, we can’t all be Snow White

And we can’t all be Cinderella
And find love with a storyteller
With a horse-drawn ending and a bestseller
We can’t all be Cinderella
No, we can’t all be Cinderella
Can’t all be Cinderella,
No we can’t all be Cinderella
+ Because of You
Uptempo jam-rock.
Jammy, world-influenced, upbeat.
The happy conclusion to a long search for love.

Lyrics

Because of you, because of you
Because of you, because of you…

I’d heard that same old story
The boy-next-door song-and-dance
With all his wrecked-up glory
I knew they’d got it wrong,
That is, until you came along…

No more Friday nights alone
Goodbye, blood from a stone
So long, losing bets
No more haven’t-met-him-yets
Because of you, because of you

I don’t know what you see
Fact is, you chose little old me
Go on, break down the door
And show me what you came here for

No more half-closed, hopeless eyes
Goodbye, melancholy sighs
So long, losing bets
No more tangled safety nets
Because of you, because of you

Because of you, because of you,
Because of you
+ Ready Steady Go
Uptempo rock.
Driving, venomous, out for revenge.
It’s about time you knew what I’m really made of.

Lyrics

Ready steady go
Steady go

I used to sleep a lot easier
You like your girls a lot sleazier
You said you quit it,
You overdid it babe,
I still get a hint of her

I hate to harm your spotless reputation,
I've gotta rectify the situation,
I got the power,
Your darkest hour,
Hope you understand my frustration

I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't
Hold my hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
Oh, but I'm ready
You say stick to what you know,
I'm ready...
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready steady go
Steady go

The road to hell is marked with lipstick stains
You always said I had a heart for brains,
Well I've been thinking babe,
Just let it sink in babe,
I've got a mind to make you feel my pain

I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't
Hold my hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
Oh, but I'm ready
You say stick to what you know,
I'm ready
Ready steady...

You say I've got a problem,
I'm just a little sick
Say you just want to help me,
Well this'll do the trick

You say I need to think this through
I've got a blind spot,
Can't live without you,
Well babe, I'll give it a shot...

Yeah I'm ready
To do just like I shouldn't babe
My hand steady
You always said I wouldn't
But I'm ready
You say stick to what you know... yeah
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready steady go
Steady go
Ready for you to go
Go go go,
Ready steady go

Lyrics

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff, baby
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home

No sleeping, scorekeeping,
What kind of girl do you take me for?
Pretending it's ending,
But oh, honey, we'll be back for more...

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home
You make me feel at home, yeah

You tell me you won't lie, why do I
Get the feeling it's a game of poker?
I scream that's final, but I'm vinyl
All you've gotta do is turn me over,
Then you play me again

You say, you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
But babe it's okay, I'll see you tonight
Because you make me feel at home

Make me feel at home
Make me feel, make me feel at home
You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
You say you don't wanna fight
I say get out of my sight
Okay, I'll see you tonight
You make me feel at home
You say you can’t get enough

You say you can't get enough
No way, I'm calling your bluff
Lord knows, I try to act tough
You make me feel at home
You don't wanna fight
Then just get out of my sight
You know I'll see you tonight
You make me feel at home
+ Make a Move

Uptempo pop-rock.
Empowered, hopeful, toe-tapping.
The first step is the hardest part… go for it!

Lyrics

You'll never write the story 'til you put the pen to paper
I don't know what you're waiting for, go do it now, not later
You shouldn't watch the movie until you've read the book
And you'll never see him smile until you look

I see into your soul and I can tell you're terrified
A little fear is fine, but don't you keep it locked inside
Sometimes it takes a swing or two to learn to hit the ball
And you'll never know the answer 'til you call

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

Listen to the record before you hate the song,
And tie your shoes, and sing the blues, and know your right from wrong
You shouldn't take the tag off until you tried it on,
And you might not know you love him 'til he's gone,
You might not know you love him 'til he's gone...

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

An apple a day,
Don't get carried away,
And try not to worry too much
It's always half-full,
You're halfway there,
Remember to hold in the clutch,
(And) set the alarm,
And turn on the charm,
And eat more leafy greens,
Just put down the mirror
And you'll see it clearer,
Stop trying to guess what it means
An apple a day,
Don't get carried away,
And try not to worry too much
It's always half full,
You're halfway there,
Remember to hold in the clutch,
And listen to rock,
And turn back the clock,
And put on that SPF,
And don't give up the chance for love
Because it scares you half to death!

Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry,
Make a move, give it a try,
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...
Oh, you know I hate to see you cry...

You'll never write the story 'till you put the pen to paper
I don't know what you're waiting for, (girl) do it now, not later
You shouldn't watch the movie until you've read the book
And you'll never see him smile until you look...

Lyrics

This is a battleground
I'm not your personal lost and found
You threw it away,
Now you want it all back,
That's just not allowed
You've got a lot of nerve
But I've wizened up
Not your girl, not your honey,
Get outta my light,
Not your buttercup...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind

So don't waste my time
Telling me words that rhyme,
I've built an immunity
To your poetry
Now you should listen to mine...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind

I don't know what could've been
This is now,
Oh, and that was then
Your white flag
Is a blindfold I refuse,
So uncross your fingers baby
Don't look so confused...

I know, I know we've got history
What's that, what's that got to do with me
I know, I know we've got history
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're left behind
Out of sight, out of mind
You should know when you're out of time
+ Shame
Uptempo stomp beat.
Sweet revenge.
Moving on from a bad relationship.

Lyrics

You used to know my passcode
I used to know your heart
I used to let you hold my hand, but now you stand here,
Tearing me apart

I’ve got my secrets
You used to have the key
You went from keeping something special sealed up tight
To giving it for free

But darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
It’s such a shame

I used to think you understood,
We used to think alike
But now you’ve traded sweet for bitter, guts for glitter,
Safe instead of right

And was she worth it?
How happy are you now?
Do you think about the night you lost me,
And do you wonder how?

‘Cause darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh you lost the game
It’s such a shame

(it’s such a shame, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ooh, I lost your number,
Ooh, you lost my trust,
I see the ashes in your eyes,
You turned our love to dust…

But now I’ve got a story,
Now I’ve got a song
And music makes you miss me more with every chord
You’ll know you’ve done me wrong

‘Cause darling I’ve found, word gets around…

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh you lost the game

Such a shame, now we’ll never be the same
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
Such a shame, go on and take the blame,
Ooh, I gotcha this time, ooh, you lost the game
It’s such a shame

Lyrics

I know what you're thinking,
You don't need to make a sound,
I'd be better off chasing my tail on the ground...
But boy, I've got news for you,
I've got a one-way-trip rocket ship,
Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Blast off, take off, three two one,
Mark my words, I'm gonna be someone
Ever since I learned to say my ABCs
I've had my mind dead-set on MSG

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Tour bus, no fuss
Because I'll do as I please
I'll share tequila on the rocks with the Kennedys
Yes, I'm ready for my name on a neon sign
And a cereal box, and a clothing line
I'll keep you guessing, reinvent myself
Wherever I go
The only label you can give me
Is a tag on my toe
My eye's on the prize,
My heart's in the fight,
(So) let's go, see you at the show tonight

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon

Tooth and nail
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon
Tooth and nail,
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon
Tooth and nail,
Gonna get there soon,
Footprints on the moon

I've got the dream, I've got the drive
You know it keeps me alive
On a mission, my ambition is in overdrive
I'm on my feet again
Smooth sailing on a second wind
Forget my name in the stars on the boulevard,
('Cause) Someday soon...
I'll have footprints on the moon
